Rappers are not all created equal. My only experience with Lupe Fiasco is with his appearance on Colbert, but he seemed okay. My main peev with him was that he created another one of those songs where they have a female singer there just for the chorus. I dislike that trend very much. If you like her voice, why does she get two lines of lyrics in the song?
Also, I will not take Kanye seriously until he loses some ego or starts releasing singles that DON'T have their beat, theme, etc. ripped directly from another more talented artist. A rapper without his own music is just a shit-talker who gets paid.
You cannot tell me Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy wasn't good. It was a piece of art.
The reason they put female singers and whatnot in their songs is because it sells. Thats all that needs to be explained. $$$
